For the worsening haze air, people are increasingly concerned about the invisible hazards! So the market a variety of respiratory protective equipment is surging out of woven masks, disposable masks, gas masks, folding masks a wide range of jagged! The face of such environments, how to select the mask, in order to better protect themselves? Should avoid misunderstanding of what? Paul as Kang will your statement 5 Mistakes:
NO.1 of the biggest myths: gauze masks when the use of dust masks.
International Economic and Trade Security [2000] As early as in 2000 the former State Economic and Trade Commission expressly provides, gauze masks may not use as a dust mask! But still often see such a wrong choice. Gauze masks in the era of occupational protection technology behind air pollution is not serious times, indeed was once commonly used in as the dustproof labor supplies, but with China in the standard of protection of health and safety, labor supplies detection technology and production advances in manufacturing technology, as well as people gradually increase the social awareness of labor protection, while deteriorating air quality increasingly affect the life, work and even health has clearly recognized to traditional gauze masks dustproof role inefficient. Due to lack of experience of the protective effect of masks during the SARS outbreak in 2003, health care workers, selected traditional gauze masks for protection and self-protection of the patients, resulting in a large number of health care workers was infected due to inadequate protection and pay a huge price, but also give us a profound lesson.
NO.2 layers of gauze as dustproof standard
The gauze mask itself has a the gauze mesh large defect, even 16 layers or more thick, can not be of diameter less than the PM2.5 particulates protection, can be said that the efficiency of the gauze masks dust almost zero. However, this dust can enter the alveolar precipitation cause pneumoconiosis!
NO.3 comfortable breathable, workers' habits, likes to use
Shape and face of gauze masks do not seal, nasal leakage rate of 34%; gauze mesh excessive leakage the dust rate greater than 29%, a high leakage rate so comfortable breathable gauze masks, but invisible dust , but it is healthy adorned with hand! Dust leakage into the mask and be sucked into the respiratory tract, pose a serious threat to lung health, to worker occupational diseases brought hidden!
NO.4 gauze cleaning, low cost!
Now with a mask, it is necessary to have the effect, effective protection is affordable security protection! Gauze masks protective effect of poor user-generated occupational pneumoconiosis risk, once the occupational pneumoconiosis, treatment extremely costly compensation fee! More harm than good!
NO.5 had been right, so you can then use gauze masks
Good air quality is not developed in the industrial age, the human body immunity. With the rapid economic development, more and more harmful to the PM2.5 particulate matter in the air, people work under increasing pressure, the immune system is greatly reduced, so in recent years, occupational pneumoconiosis cases rise fast!
Countries from the standards and regulations of the gauze masks an open question, but because of long-term use of gauze masks, have formed the wrong concept of thinking, and also trained a lot of error protection philosophy, such as: more emphasis on cheap, should absorb sweat, should be washed with water and energy breathable "benefits", and do not show a lot of concern for their adhesion effective filtering should be the actual protective effect. Cause pneumoconiosis increased year by year!
Therefore, the correct choice of masks is very important! Take good care of yourself, love their families, and 5 microns are not to be missed!
